the spell of a pregnant pausetime passes, hands clasped,
afraid of what might happen,
clench tight on what's been.
eyes stare unblinking,
lest the sheer weight of mere thought,
reveals happenstance.
ears distracted dwell
on mantra seance murmurs
when will never end?...

back filled with wheals and scars
his escape rapid
horrible father
low wishy-washy mother
he never returned...

Not Caring
not caring
as his car disappears
down the long road
we traveled together
not caring where the road
took us ... once long ago
her fairytale
has no happy ending
after all...
